After Tan Zhengwen left the palace, he immediately rushed to Shen Deyin's Shangshu Ling Mansion. Shen Deyin was now very powerful. After becoming Shangshu Ling, he hinted the ministers to give him gifts. As a result, the ministers "fawned over" him and patted him "heavyly" After flattering him, he actually packed up the palace of Li Zhenglong, the former king of Linzi, and "filial piety" Shen Deyin. Shen Deyin understands things quite well. He knows that he owes everything to Yang Ze for what he is today, and Yang Ze is not in Chang'an now. He is the only one left with a group of younger brothers. Will Yang Ze doubt himself, and will those who hate him doubt him? Are you trying to stir up trouble between yourself and Yang Ze? Thinking on his heels, he knew that someone would definitely do this. If there were too many people saying bad things about him, Yang Ze might doubt himself. Yang Ze was his only thigh. If this thigh didn't let him hug him Shen Deyin estimated that the lives of his whole family could not be saved. Without Yang Ze taking action, those frustrated ministers would pounce on him and tear him into pieces. So Shen Deyin decided to taint himself. He would not expose other people's evil deeds, but He moved into the Linzi Palace in a grand manner, and the ministers gave him more gifts, and he wanted everything they gave him. Anyway, he gave others the feeling that he was a sensual and sensual person, and his behavior would spread. In Yang Ze's ears, Yang Ze thought that this was all he was worth. For a subordinate who had no big ambitions but was loyal, of course Yang Ze would not be embarrassed and would continue to trust him. Tan Zhengwen arrived at Shangshu Ling's Mansion, and when he was still outside the door, he felt that Shen Deyin was so enjoyable. He had moved to Linzi Prince's Mansion in just a few days. Among the people around Yang Ze, Shen Deyin should be the most enjoyable. You can enjoy it. As soon as he arrived outside the door, the concierge ran over, nodded and bowed, and took Tan Zhengwen's horse aside. Tan Zhengwen asked: "Is your prime minister in the mansion?" The concierge said hurriedly: "Yes. Now, my Prime Minister has said that as long as General Tan arrives, he can enter the inner hall directly without reporting, and there is no need to avoid taboos." Tan Zhengwen laughed and entered the house. He saw many craftsmen working overtime in front of the main hall to decorate the Prime Minister's Mansion. He wasted no time and strode to the backyard. The Linzi Prince's Mansion was not very big. In order to show that he was a good prince, Li Zhenglong, the king of Linzi, deliberately pretended to be poor. Therefore, the palace was not big and there were not many things in it. In terms of decoration, it saved Shen Deyin a lot of trouble. Tan Zhengwen has been When they arrived at the back hall, they saw Shen Deyin dressed neatly and looking like he was about to go out. Tan Zhengwen smiled and said: "Master Shen, I didn't expect that. I'm back to Chang'an again, and I came back so quickly." There was no expression of surprise on his face. Instead, he touched his beard and said: "If there's anything I didn't expect, I knew you were coming back soon, so I specifically told the concierge. Otherwise, you thought you could come directly behind me." Damn it, this is now the prime minister's residence after all." Tan Zhengwen chuckled and said, "Why are you so generous in repairing the residence? You are not afraid of thieves coming in the middle of the night." "You don't have to worry about whether there are thieves or not," Shen Deyin said. When he arrived at the front hall, the two of them walked forward together. Shen Deyin said: "Everything is going well. Are you coming back to take the lead? I guess the Taiwei will send someone back soon to guide you and me. However, I guess, Even if we don't give guidance, we can still do well." "You guessed it again. I really came back to take the lead." Tan Zhengwen told Shen Deyin what happened. After hearing this, Shen Deyin thought for a while and said: "I estimate that the emperor will abdicate in all likelihood. He will become the supreme emperor and let the prince be the new emperor. As for whether the prince can becomehey, I'm afraid he will be willing to do so in the next life. It will come true." When he was talking to Tan Zhengwen, he didn't have to avoid anything, he just said whatever came to his mind. Tan Zhengwen nodded and said: "I think so too, so I plan not to go back to Taiyuan yet, but stay in Chang'an City to see if there is anything I can do to cooperate with you." Shen Deyin hummed, and he called home The servant brought breakfast and he and Tan Zhengwen ate some. Neither of them spoke while eating, each thinking about their own thoughts. After eating, the two of them wiped their mouths and started talking again. Shen Deyin said: "The emperor is probably going to abdicate. I have to oppose this matter. If the emperor must abdicate, then he must announce it to the world. But what if the prince is not rescued? So we have to leave a backup, so why not just continue "Long live the princess." Tan Zhengwen said with a smile: "I understand, you are retreating in order to advance. The emperor does not want to abdicate. If you have such an idea, you must make it a reality. , anyway, no matter who the throne is to be passed to, the abdication is certain, at least this is what is written in the abdication edict." Shen Deyin hehey twice, he took off his official hat, touched his increasingly thinning hair, and said: "My age is really too old Not too small, thisEven if my wife has a chance to prosper, I guess this will be the last time. I want to get the title of county king for my descendants. Even if I can't be an iron hat, I will have to become a prince after this generation, but my descendants If people mention my ancestor, they can also say that their ancestor was once the king of a certain county. This is also an honor that is rare in the world." Tan Zhengwen was slightly absent-minded. He thought of himself. His biggest wish in his life was to have Spend money, there is endless money to spend. Later, after following Yang Ze, I found that as long as I became an official, I would not worry about having no money to spend. So my biggest wish became to become a high official. He wanted to be a general, majestic and majestic. Yes, but now that he heard Shen Deyin mention it, he wondered if he should also get a title. He is Yang Ze's confidant, so it should be possible to get a prince. After a while, Tan Zhengwen murmured He murmured: "Then we have to try our best this time. The future glory and wealth will depend on this time." Shen Deyin looked at Tan Zhengwen's expression changes, hummed twice, he took a long breath, and slowly Slowly vomiting out, he stood up and said: "Then I will enter the palace. I guess the emperor should find someone to discuss it at this time." Tan Zhengwen also stood up and said: "We still have some brothers in Beijing, I will contact them one by one. , if necessary, then these brothers can come in handy." "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it can be used for one moment, and one moment is this moment," Shen Deyin said. The two of them left the house together and went their separate ways, both for themselves. Let¡¯s talk about Shen Deyin entering the palace. It was already getting late, but because Li Yan never liked going to court early, there was no need to go to court at midnight. At this time, Shen Deyin estimated that Li Yan hadn¡¯t arrived yet. As expected, Li Yan still didn't arrive at the Taiji Hall, and there were no ministers waiting at the Taiji Hall. At most, there were only three or two kittens, and they were all ministers who were attached to Shen Deyin and waved. He called them over and said: "The emperor may be holding a court meeting today, please go out and inform us. Let all our people come. As for those who are not us, well, let others notify us. We don¡¯t have to worry about it anyway. " Several ministers were slightly startled. Even if the emperor convened a great meeting, he would not notify the ministers in this way, right? But since Shen Shangshu Ling said so, then they will just listen. The ministers hurried out one after another, while After whispering, a minister said: "It looks like it. Prime Minister Shen wants to do big things. He wants to influence the emperor's thoughts." "Stop talking nonsense. We will do whatever Mr. Shen tells us to do, isn't it?" Other ministers told him to shut up. After leaving the palace, these ministers quickly sent people to summon their own ministers, and they personally invited Shen Deyin for a long time, and Li Yan was late. , accompanied by Liang Dazhong, entered the Taiji Hall. Li Yan arrived late, but he didn't think so. When he saw the empty hall below, he wondered: "Why are there no ministers coming to the court?" Is today a day of rest? Liang Dazhong thought to himself: "You never go to court yourself. The ministers are always waiting in vain. After a long time, the ministers will come and wait foolishly. Isn't that a mistake?" Liang Dazhong thought so in his heart, but he said: "Return to the Emperor. Today is not a day for rest, why don't I go down and take a look, outside Hey, isn't that Shen Shangshu Ling? He is outside the palace. The old slave looks at it, and it seems that he is the only minister outside the palace." Li Yan Ah, he slowly sat on the dragon chair. Suddenly, he felt that being an emperor was really boring. He didn't have half the dignity that an emperor should have. He just came to court a little late, but the minister None of them waited for him. Although he had told the ministers before that he would no longer have to go to court every day, today he was sitting in the Tai Chi Hall. When he looked outside, there was only Shen Deyin. He still felt very sad. . Sighing softly, Li Yan thought to himself: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if this emperor doesn't do it. I can live the rest of my life peacefully as the Supreme Emperor." For a moment, Li Yan felt quite discouraged. He felt so cold that he didn't even want to see Shen Deyin. He even wanted to ask Liang Dazhong to formulate a decree for him to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor. From now on, the ministers would just go to Li Chongjiu if they have anything to do. Shen Deyin even had this idea of ??not wanting to see anyone. He had already walked in from outside the palace and was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Li Yan and shouting "long live the emperor." Li Yan raised his hand to support him and said: "Shen Aiqing is excused, well, you are the only one here, you are so loyal." , bring a platform for Shen Aiqing, let us monarchs and ministers sit down and talk." Liang Dazhong agreed and went down the steps to move a platform for Shen Deyin. Shen Deyin thanked him and sat down. He raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you going to court early today? CanWhat do you want me to do? " Li Yan sighed and said: "Shen Aiqing is the only one left in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty. You are still thinking about whether I have any instructions." Shen Deyin snorted and said, "Maybe it is because I have been busy recently, so other ministers The workers didn't come over, but they might come over after a while, when they finish their work. " Li Yan shook his head slightly and thought to himself: "Ministers should be busy with their own affairs first, and then they will care about me as the emperor. Isn't the priority reversed? You really don't care about me as the emperor. Take it seriously." Since Shen Deyin was the only minister in the palace, Li Yan told him what happened last night, and then asked: "In Shen Aiqing's opinion, what should we do about this matter? " Shen Deyin frowned, pretending to think for a while, and then said: "The emperor ordered Yang Taiwei not to attack. This is very correct. This can prevent the rebels in Taiyuan from jumping over the wall and doing things that are detrimental to the prince. Come. " After a pause, he continued: "But, is it possible that the emperor really intends to abdicate and give up the throne to the prince? If it is just a plan for interests, I think it is absolutely unacceptable. Once such an edict is announced, it will be a lie and become true. The people will not think that this is a plan for interests. How can the emperor's throne be changed? So if it is just to save the prince, then Rong Chen should think of other ways." Li Yan said: "Is there any other way? Okay, think about it quickly. " Shen Deyin quickly pretended that he was thinking seriously and thought for a moment. He then raised his head with a frustrated look and said: "I can't think of any other good way. It seems that except for the emperor who thought of this way, there is no other way. All methods carry great risks, and not only can they not save the prince. On the contrary, it will kill the prince." "Actually, there are ways, but in fact, Li Chongjiu was not kidnapped, so can you think of a few more ways? What's the use? Why don't you just shoot Li Yan's dragon fart? Li Yan said: "I have been thinking about it for a long time and only came up with this method. However, Shen Aiqing, are you opposed to me giving up the throne to the crown prince? " "To report to your Majesty, I really think it's inappropriate, thinking that the rebels in Taiyuan dare to do such a treasonous thing. There must be spies in the capital. If the emperor just wanted to save the prince and made such a decision, then those spies would have heard about it. If he went back to Taiyuan and told it, wouldn't it harm the prince instead?" Shen Deyin said He said in a very sincere tone, as if he was thinking about Li Chongjiu wholeheartedly, but Li Yan shook his head and said: "Shen Aiqing, you have misunderstood me. I really mean to give up my throne to the prince. The abdication edict is true and is to be announced to the world. Even if there is no time, the people in the Gyeonggi area can. But everyone must know it. This is not a fake edict. " Shen Deyin quickly pretended to be shocked, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, are you serious about giving up the throne to the prince? This is absolutely impossible, if he really gives up his throne to the prince. The rebels in Taiyuan thought that their conspiracy had succeeded. What if they did not let the prince come back, but continued to hold him hostage and make the capital in Taiyuan? The thief is under control, so I can rescue the prince." What he said was very skillful. First of all, he stated that he was opposed to Li Yan really giving up the throne to Li Chongjiu, and his attitude was clear. Secondly, what he said was even if It was Li Yan who gave way, but there was no way for Li Chongjiu to come back safely. This would inevitably disrupt Li Yan's initial thoughts, and he would have to listen to his suggestions. In this way, wouldn't the whole matter fall into his orbit? Li Yan is a person without ideas, but he, Shen Deyin, is very creative, and he always has a lot of ideas. Li Yan was also taken aback, and he was stunned. Yes, what if those rebels want to make Taiyuan their capital. ? He has never thought about this problem. Taiyuan is the place of Longxing of the Li Dynasty of the Dafang Empire. It is known as the capital. If it is really established there, even if it is only for a period of time, it can barely be considered. The name is justifiable. After a while, who knows what problems may arise. Maybe the rebels have settled the matter and can even counterattack Chang'an. Maybe Yang Ze can't deal with such a thing. Li Yan sweated on his forehead and asked : "I neglected this, Shen Aiqing, do you have any good suggestions? " Shen Deyin pretended to think carefully again. After a long while, he said: "In Yichen's humble opinion, it is better for the emperor to disrupt the conspiracy of those rebels. Didn't they want to kidnap the prince in Taiyuan? If we ascend to the throne of God, then we will not let them get what they want. As long as we disrupt their conspiracy and plan, that will be enough. " "How to disrupt it? "Li Yan had no idea at all at this time and could only listen to Shen Deyin. Who asked Shen Deyin to be a minister here? The old eunuch Liang Dazhong is not a minister, and Liang Dazhong is not a minister.Squeaking, just standing far away without saying a word. Shen Deyin said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the stone monument in front of the palace has almost been built. Why not use this as a reason? When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in front of the stone monument. Only in this way can he truly ascend the throne. This was originally built." This is the original intention of the stone tablet. It will become a rule forever in the future. Even if the emperor gives up the throne to the prince, the prince must abide by it. Moreover, the emperor can also explain in the edict that if the prince cannot come back in time, then the emperor will Just return the throne to Princess Long Live. The day Princess Long Live gets married is when she ascends the throne." Li Yan opened his mouth wide. He did not expect this. This idea was completely different from what he had thought in advance. Ah Shen Deyin then said: "In this way, once this edict is announced, all the subjects in the world will be witnesses, and even the people of Taiyuan will stand on the side of the emperor, which can weaken the power of the rebels. And When Taiwei Yang learned that on the day of the wedding, Princess Long live the throne could be legitimately enthroned, he would definitely run to Chang'an and not take care of those rebels." Li Yan couldn't laugh or cry. He said, "The princess's marriage is such a big deal, how can it be like this? Arrangement, is it possible that we don¡¯t even have to choose an auspicious day? As soon as Yang Ze comes back, we will get married immediately?¡± Shen Deyin cleared his throat and said: ¡°Your Majesty, of course Taiwei Yang will run back. Long live the last time? The princess's ascension to the throne is a special situation and cannot be recognized by all the people in the world. As long as there are many people who oppose it, the long live princess will still not be able to sit on the throne. But this time it is you, the emperor, who issued the edict. This is in compliance with the national law and also It is in line with human feelings and more in line with the ancestral system. In this case, Taiwei Yang will of course run back and strive to become the real queen for Princess Long Live." He paused, organized his words, and said, "But Yang. As soon as the Taiwei ran away, the rebels in Taiyuan would become anxious. In order not to lose the popular support, of course they had no popular support at all, but at least they were still deceiving the people of Taiyuan. In order to stabilize the popular support and military morale in Taiyuan, they would leave. Taiyuan has also returned to the capital with the prince." Li Yan shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's child's play, it's too child's play. In this case, wouldn't it mean that I gave up the throne to whom I gave up the throne, instead of explaining who I was giving up the throne to? Whoever returns to Chang'an first will become the emperor. If Yang Ze comes back first, the princess will become the queen, and if the prince comes back first, the rebels will support him" But just after saying this, Li Yanxiang suddenly understood something. As if, he stopped talking and said: "I understand, in this case, the rebels in Taiyuan will have to leave Taiyuan, and they must leave quickly, otherwise they will be holding the prince hostage for nothing, but as soon as they leave Taiyuan, then we can rescue the prince halfway." Shen Deyin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could fool Li Yan, he said: "Yes, what I mean is to learn from the Spring and Autumn Period, when Duke Heng of Qi and Prince Jiu of Qi State fought for the throne. Whoever returns home first will be the king of Qi. Young Master Jiu¡¯s men intercepted and killed Duke Heng of Qi on the way, but they thought they shot Duke Heng of Qi and let down their guard Well, I think that our soldiers will never be like Guan Zhong and let those people go. As long as the rebels in Taiyuan dare to leave Taiyuan, they will never be able to go back. The emperor can arrange another team of warriors to rescue the prince during the chaos, and the matter will be completed. " "Then Yang Ze, what if he runs faster? "Li Yan said worriedly. Shen Deyin hurriedly added: "As long as the emperor issues an imperial decree not to allow Taiwei Yang to enter the city, that's fine. " Li Yan laughed loudly. He patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Yes, why did I forget this? I can cheat myself." "This is really bullying Yang Ze, but it doesn't matter. Who let Yang Ze is a minister, but he is a king. To be continued
